Doc #65001 [NEW]: string argument length limits for preg_match() are not written in the man page

From: bakaburg1 at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.4.16 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:string argument length limits for preg_match() are not written in the man page Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.preg-match#refsect1-function.preg- match-parameters --- I got crazy to understand why preg_match() in my script wasn't working than I realize that the problem could have been in the length of the string I was passing to it. A little search and indeed there was a length limiti for the passed string. Well I think it should be written pretty clearly in the function manual page, together with ways to circumvent the problem (increase the limit or substr[inging]). It would be quite useful, especially for newbies that could not be able to solve the problem by themselves easily. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65001&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65001&r=mysqlcfg
